A daughter of Frankel out of the high-class mare Infallible, Sir Michael Stoute's filly was third on her racecourse debut at Newbury three weeks ago and was 3-1 to open her account at the second time of asking under Ryan Moore.

Veracious tracked Godolphin-owned newcomer and 11-4 joint-favourite Winter Lightning before committing for home and soon stamped her class on the field, readily pulling four lengths clear.

Winter Lightning was a clear second ahead of Final Treat in third.

Stoute said: "She's a nice filly and is bred to be as well. She likes this ground and it was not as nice at Newbury. She was much more professional today.

"She had impressed us in her work between the two races. We will leave it at that (for this season) and let her chill."

Asked whether Veracious could contest a Guineas trial next spring, the trainer added: "It's awful early to say but I would not rule it out. She has not got to that stage yet
